"I have come to a point in my life where I am ready to discuss my truth," Al Reynolds says in his essay.

Al, who was married to ‘The View’ alum for four years, told the publication “Today, I accept myself as a bisexual man.”

Rumors of Al’s sexuality have followed him throughout most of his time in the limelight. The murmurs came to a head when he split with Jones in 2008.

“Ever since I have been in the public eye, people have been speculating on my sexuality,” he revealed. “And ‘speculating’ is a kind word for how it actually played out. With anger and disdain, people have been calling me out as gay, closeted, a sham and even nastier; much nastier. I have come to a point in my life where I am ready to discuss my truth. I wasn’t ready to do this then — I wasn’t even ready to think about it, let alone process it.”

Reynolds’ bombshell admission comes just days after Jones announced her engagement to lawyer Ricardo Lugo.
